When I was a kid I discovered Poison the Well and Thursday. Which led me down a rabbit hole, and I never turned back. I still listen to and love those bands as well as a lot of heavy music.

I think the biggest difference between old me and young me is that I’m not afraid to like music people think is bad. My friends at the time were very disinterested in screaming.

I had two of these fuckers approach me as I was sitting in the passenger seat of my car once at the grocery store waiting for the driver to return. At night. I laid on the horn and didn’t stop until they got frustrated and left.

So for me when I was dating it was that people were never interested in me as a person, for a variety of reasons.

So for example a lot of people my age have children and look for a mother figure. Or think mothers themselves are not for serious companionship.

Or looking for what I provide as a service (free therapy).

Or it’s a money thing.

Eventually it went from annoying to exhausting. Well, it was not adding anything to my life so why bother?

I do a lot of play therapy and wear a lot of costumes. Arts and crafts necessitates shiny objects such as gemstones glitter/glue. The photo I think I’m dressed up for some silly hat day thing. I may be a crow.

I appreciate the memes. Truly. Thank you.

For what I do I would have to go elsewhere unfortunately. I have two interviews Monday. I just hate change. I’ll miss those interesting people as well. Oh well.

My field requires a graduate degree and a board and fieldwork. I just paid it off at 38.

I think my first post here someone asked me to tell them about baking lasagnas, maybe because of the way I type. Is it also sort of an insult to imply someone is a bot?

Gossipy people.

School-based behavioral health lol

Oh yeah…I forgot about the basket of remotes.

I feel like being competent in electronics can be so aggravating depending on how people treat you. I don’t even want to think about those giant tv/dvd/multi-disc changer set-ups with sound systems people had. Rip.

Sorry you’re going through all that. Would a low impact exercise provide the same rush? I know runners high is a thing. I’m not sure swimming would do it for you. Rock climbing is a little more intense… but you can take it at your own pace and it feels really good (while you’re doing it). So if you get halfway and your leg starts doin a jig you can drop off, etc, without losing your work out.

Icky. Looking for a new job. Being harassed by a bully underlying who has created a hostile work environment because I hold her to her assigned tasks. The hours are really good though. So I wish it hadn’t come to this, especially around this time of year. I’m tired.

Behavior support following the holiday? Yeah I’m calling out Monday.

And I can’t even tell if it’s because printers have gotten worse or millennials are just the IT department forever.

I don’t care if it is seamless…I want to play games and enjoy art made by human brains. Because to me it’s the closest we can get to being in someone else’s experience of a thing. And yeah we still go through our own filter but this game…or song or painting is someone else’s brain creating and I’m just walking through their vision of the world.

A swipe badge, and a thinkpad that mainly gets used as a frisbee.

Not capable at all would be non-verbal. This includes vocal and non-vocal verbal communication such as PECs and sign. Non-vocal is not speaking out loud. Able to speak but not doing so may be called selectively verbal.

Not trying at all could have several outcomes and reasons behavioral and medical and would not be any of these. They may not learn to read so lack literacy or may not learn properly how to speak and lack fluency in their first language.

Edit: upon reading some of your other comments, you may be thinking of delays in receptive and expressive language. Which can have many causes.

Tbh that sounds pretty darn good.
